Chapter 400 Date together × Investigate the case together√
Kudo Shinichi was stunned for a while on the stage:
Such a romantic atmosphere, such a rare date.
Decades later, when they are too old to move, they will still be reminded of the beautiful moments in their lives on the sickbed.
I’ve even figured out which university my children will go to and what major they will choose in the future.
You actually went to investigate the case? ?
Can't we let others investigate the case?
After this idea popped into my mind subconsciously.
He finally experienced Mao Lilan's mood on the last date more truly.
No wonder Sherlock Holmes doesn’t have a girlfriend
Kudo Shinichi was in a very complicated mood.
But Mao Lilan is not the same as he was in the past.
She first jumped off the stage, approached the body, showed her identity as an honorary police officer, and temporarily controlled the order of the scene.
Then, as if by instinct, she turned around and looked thoughtfully at the childhood sweetheart who was left behind by her and was in a daze:
"New sister Chris."
What did Mao Lilan realize:
"You come here too."
"Let's investigate this case together."
"." Kudo Shinichi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's check it out together,"
He immediately jumped off the stage and came to Mao Lilan's side.
The two stood together in tacit understanding and turned their attention to the body that collapsed on the ground:
The deceased was a male, probably less than 30 years old. He was dressed in a suit, leather shoes, and gold-rimmed glasses, and looked like a social elite.
"There is no swelling or purple on the face, no cyanosis on the nail bed, and the 'complexion' is good. It doesn't look like a sudden illness."
"The mouth. The mouth smells like bitter almonds."
Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan looked at each other and exchanged opinions silently:
Obviously, the deceased was poisoned.
Moreover, the poison in the deceased was the poison that the two of them were most familiar with - potassium cyanide.
Potassium cyanide can inhibit respiratory enzymes, causing intracellular suffocation and rapid hypoxic paralysis of the respiratory center.
Taking a sufficient amount of potassium cyanide orally will cause the poisoned person to fall to the ground instantly, convulse for a moment and die, which is called "electric shock death".
In reality, although potassium cyanide is widely used in electroplating, metallurgy, etching, lithography and other industries, as a specially controlled hazardous chemical, it is still difficult for ordinary people to obtain it.
But, in this world.
If you don't get some potassium cyanide for poisoning, the murderer will be embarrassed to hang out in the circle of murderers.
So both Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan are very familiar with this poison.
They quickly determined the cause of death:
"It was poisoned by potassium cyanide, and it was taken orally."
"The deceased was still holding a paper drink cup in his hand when he fell to the ground."
"The poison was probably put in the coke he drank."
"but."
Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan both discovered something was wrong:
The Coke in the drink cup has been finished.
Potassium cyanide is highly toxic and can cause severe symptoms such as throat fever, stomach discomfort, dizziness, and tinnitus immediately after oral administration.
If a large enough amount is eaten at one time, the victim will fall to the ground and die in an instant.
Therefore, if the poison was poured into the drink cup, the deceased should have noticed something was wrong when he took the first sip of the drink.
How could he still finish the drink?
Mao Lilan frowned and couldn't think of an answer for a while.
Kudo Shinichi, on the other hand, looked thoughtfully at the melted ice cubes in the drink glass and thought about it in silence.
Then, he raised his head and asked the three spectators who were sitting next to the deceased and were watched by Mao Lilan immediately after the incident:
"Are you all acquaintances of the deceased?"
"Who was the deceased and what he did before he died? Can you tell us in detail?"
"Okay, okay."
The three people hesitated for a while, and finally, one of the young ladies stood up:
"My name is Hongshang Wuyi, and I am a staff member of Mihua Hospital."
She introduced herself first, then pointed to the man and woman standing next to her and said:
"These two are Noda Yumei and Mitani Yota."
"They are also employees of Mihua Hospital."
Hongshang Wuyi finished introducing herself and her companions, and finally looked at the corpse on the ground with a complicated expression:
"The person who died is Kamata Kohei."
"He is a doctor at Rice Flower Hospital."
"The four of us all graduated from Didan High School, and we all work in the same place, so we always come to watch the show together every year."
As she spoke, she introduced the situation at the time of the crime in detail:
"We were all focused on watching the performance and didn't pay attention to what Mr. Kamata was doing next to us."
"I didn't expect that he would suddenly fall to the ground without warning."
"By the time we realized something was wrong and tried to rescue him, he had already passed away."
"What about the Coke Mr. Kamata drank?"
Kudo Shinichi then asked:
"When did he get the Coke?"
"Who else touched this Coke before he got it?"
"Also, was it only the deceased Mr. Kamata who ordered Coke, or did all four of you order Cokes?"
"This." Hongshang Wuyi thought for a while and replied:
"I helped buy the drinks for the four of us."
"Among them, Mitani ordered oolong tea, Noda ordered orange juice, and Kamata and I ordered iced coffee."
"Mr. Kamata, did you order iced coffee?"
Kudo Shinichi interrupted the other party's story with some concern:
"Then how did the drink he got turn into Coke?"
"It's because of me!"
A girl with glasses wearing the uniform of Didan High School walked over quietly.
"I'm in charge of the drink stall at the school festival venue."
"Kamata ordered iced coffee, but I changed it."
"Huh?" Everyone looked over curiously:
Why would a high school girl change the drink of the deceased?
She quickly told everyone the answer:
This girl's name is Ninagawa Ayako, and she is the daughter of the director of Rice Flower Hospital.
The deceased, Mr. Kamata, worked at the Rice Flower Hospital. Because he was young, promising, good-looking, and far superior to his peers in work ability, he was attracted by the director of the Rice Flower Hospital, Ninagawa, and entered into an engagement with the director's daughter, Ayako Ninagawa.
But Miss Ninagawa Ayako did not want to marry a man 10 years older than herself, so she persuaded her parents to cancel the marriage.
The relationship between Mr. Kamata and Ayako Ninagawa has been tense recently because they are arguing about breaking off their engagement.
He has been avoiding her.
He also deliberately avoided talking about breaking off the engagement.
Just before the school festival performance started, the deceased Mr. Kamata did not dare to buy a drink by himself because he saw that the person selling drinks was Ayako Ninagawa.
In order to force him to meet her to discuss breaking off the engagement, Ninagawa Ayako deliberately replaced the iced coffee he ordered with Coke when selling drinks.
The purpose was to let Mr. Kamata get the wrong drink and go to the drink stand to change it.
But obviously, Mr. Kamata didn’t change the drink for some unknown reason.
He drank the coke.
Then he was poisoned.
"I see!"
Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan have not spoken yet.
Mouri Kogoro, who was originally helping to maintain order at the scene, had a light of wisdom in his eyes:
"Mr. Kamata died of suicide!"
"Because I was ruthlessly abandoned by a girl who was 10 years younger than me, I was deeply shocked:"
"He has been avoiding Miss Ninagawa and avoiding talking about the break-up of the engagement - this behavior of pretending to be an ostrich shows how fragile his heart is."
"So Mr. Kamata chose to commit suicide in front of the girl who dumped her at Teidan High School's school festival!"
"And Ayako Ninagawa happens to be the student in charge of selling drinks at the school festival."
“All drinks sold will pass through her hands first.”
"After knowing this, Mr. Kamata deliberately put poison into the Coke he bought from Miss Ninagawa and committed suicide by taking poison in this way.'
"In this way, not only could he end his own life as he wished, but he could also put the suspicion of poisoning on Miss Ninagawa."
"And because it was a suicide."
"So Mr. Putian can take the potassium cyanide after he has almost finished drinking the drink."
"In this way, the question of 'the deceased drank the poisonous drink before he died' can be answered."
Maori Ran Kogoro analyzed it, and the analysis was quite decent.
The deceased's behavioral motives and psychological condition were all reasonably speculated by him.
Even the biggest mystery in this case, "Why did the deceased drink the poisoned Coke before he died?" was perfectly answered under his explanation.
but
"dad."
Mao Lilan reluctantly pulled her father back:
"The judgment of suicide cannot be so hasty."
"The Metropolitan Police Department has handled wrong cases several times before, and each time they always used 'suicide' as the excuse. Mr. Lin also got angry with the police officers of the Investigation Division because of this."
"Mr. Lin said that if you want to classify a case as suicide, you must find enough evidence."
"For example"
Mao Lilan paused slightly and said seriously:
"Container containing potassium cyanide."
"Potassium cyanide deliquesces easily in the air, and this highly toxic substance may be dangerous if it comes into direct contact with the skin."
"If the deceased died of suicide, the poison was taken from his body after he drank the coke."
"Then he should have a container containing potassium cyanide on him."
"But I did a simple search during the autopsy, and there were no suspicious containers on Mr. Kamata's body."
"So, it is unlikely that he committed suicide."
"Well, this, that's it" was easily exposed by his daughter's reasoning, and she also came with a piece of ideological education on the attitude of handling cases. As a father, a former criminal police officer, and a current professional detective, Kogoro Mouri was very embarrassed.
But Mao Lilan was not very happy because she had won the argument against her father.
Her brows were still tightly knitted together, and her big eyes were filled with confusion:
If this case is not suicide
How should we explain the suspicion that the deceased died after drinking poisoned cola?
Could it be that the poison was not put in the Coke, but somewhere else?
But if it is dropped somewhere else, how can we ensure that the deceased can eat it?
Mao Lilan was puzzled.
"Xiaolan."
Kudo Shinichi quietly approached her, leaned into her ear and said:
"I thought of an answer."
The second is later
